Today I had some time to kill before work so I stopped at bestbuy to see the labour day weekend sale. I spoke to a samsung rep and he mentioned if you buy (i think) the 55"mu7000 you get a free madden 18 xbox one s. I haven't seen any mention of this deal anywhere not even on bestbuys flyer or site. Anyone else come across this deal too?
If there's a rep, it's from them, they don't always advert it in store flyers as I don't think all the stores get one.
When I was looking at the KS series last year, one of the reps told me that I'd get the same thing, Xbox One S; I know the answer, but I asked anyway, couldn't sub it for another console or item.

I figured it must have been a samsung deal and not a bestbuy deal. Almost had me too. Its was a very good deal.

You bought a laptop at Best Buy, they already suckered you. The Geek Squad upsell is just to make you feel at ease
Yeah, sometimes they'll throw in shit like a bluray player (lol), surround system, etc.
And I think I've only seen Samsung reps offer things like that. Haven't seen one from the other companies in a long time.
I had to get it on short notice so couldn't order online. Got the best I could find between Bestbuy, Staples and Microbytes.

Can someone point out the double trade in value details to me? I'm looking but can't find any info

Double trade in credit on all games until October 1. Limit of two double credit trade ins per customer. The guy I spoke to said it would be fine to trade in 2 more games in a couple weeks. They're watching to make sure people don't use it too much.
I got $70 for Agents of Mayhem and $38 for Crash.

Do you have to ask for it specifically? I have a copy of pokemon sun I am never gonna play. Might be worth trading in.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Theres fliers by the entrance with coupons.

Yeah, you don't need that though. I just walked to the counter and asked for the double credit on those 2 games.

Any y'all finding Mario Rabbids really dull? I'm only 1-2 hours in but finding the "humor" corny and the gameplay boring. Hasn't hooked me in so far.
Speaking of Mario Rabbids, will this game drop in price because it's an ubisoft title, or stay expensive because it is a Nintendo title? The game play intrigues me, but the rabbids put me right off paying full price for it.

Dont have the game yet but humor seems really hit and miss (mostly miss). Strong point seems to be the graphics/music and gameplay (Im a big fan of turn based)

Have you unlocked the actual skill tree yet? It definitely gets more interesting as it goes, battle wise.
The humor is the humor though.

Good to know. Will keep at it.
I love the Mario/Nintendo universe but this is, uh, weird.
Maybe I'd be less critical if this weren't $80. I feel like XCom (and Fire Emblem) were both way more compelling and half the price. But it's still early.
(And thanks for not jumping on an unpopular opnion...was going to post in the OT but doubt I'd get measured responses)

It drives me up the damn wall when people do that, no worries.
EB has a "save up to 35% off recycled Sci-Fi games" sale https://www.ebgames.ca/SearchResult/QuickSearch?q=rp20170830
I find EB's site has a poor track record with updating sale prices, so I can't tell if those recycled prices are before or after the discounts. Probably worth keeping an eye on though, some XB1 titles like Gears UE, Recore and Halo Wars 2 could potentially get a good discount.

Has anyone traded in Uncharted Lost Legacy at EB as of yet and know the trade value? In wondering if it's worth it to trade in with the double trade value to get everybody's golf or if I should just sell on kijiji.

I need a third controller, but what's so special about those? The regular full color ones are 50$ on sale (amazon and BB)
They're transparent? I thought that's why people want them.
I sorta of want but I don't know if I'd drop $65 on a controller. I did just buy yellow joycons which were $100 though..lol.
It's up for pre-order now @ EB

Yup I traded it in and got $38 with the double trade in. I didn't put it towards anything, just onto my edge card.

Are they actually? I saw that in their flyer but I assumed that had to be a typo. Holy shit.
Maybe I should get one because my PS3's disc drive sucks.
Convention in Toronto this weekend.

Oh, it's at EB Games' area. They had a stack of consoles and they've been restocking with amiibos every day.

Awesome, thanks!
I sold it for 40 bucks on Kijiji yesterday
I've already see a few ads on Kijiji Winnipeg for $30 or $35, so I doubt I'll get $40 at this point. Winnipegers seem cheap AF on there from past experiences.
